Title
Implementation and Analysis of PCC (Parallel Connection Control)
Abstract
In earlier papers, we proposed the PCC (Parallel Connection Control) algorithm for the setup and release of on-demand ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) connections. This paper describes an implementation and analysis of PCC. The PCC algorithm is implemented on a testbed of three types of ATM switches from which service time measurements (software execution times) are obtained. These measured service times are used as input data for an analytical queueing network model to characterize the PCC end-to-end setup delay and maximum throughputs. Assuming all connections pass through ten switches, for this measured data, PCC has a theoretical maximum throughput of 343 calls/sec/switch, and at about 90% of this maximum limit (i.e., at 310 calls/sec/switch), the mean end-to-end connection setup delay is only 43ms. We also compare PCC performance against an equivalent sequential connection setup/release approach. We observe that PCC end-to-end setup delay is much smaller than the sequential setup delay (34% at low load and even smaller at higher load). Also, the per-switch maximum throughput of the PCC approach is 80% more compared to the sequential approach.
